Ghost Recon Wildlands Patch Notes for Patch 2.0

Here are the latest Ghost Recon Wildlands patch notes. One of the biggest highlights of the new Wildlands patch includes the ability to choose which vehicle you want through rebel support. Now instead of getting a chopper when you need a set of wheels, you will have a choice. Ubisoft also took care of some of those annoying connection issues that many players were seeing. The patch went live on March 22, 2017 so we will see how things pan out for the Ghost Recon Wildlands fans. Read the full patch notes below.

Patch Notes Provided From Ubisoft

We would like to announce the patch notes for our Title Update 2, available on PC on March 22nd and PS4 and Xbox One on March 23rd during morning UTC. We will have a small maintenance in order to update our servers.

The development team focused on improving all areas of the game, from gameplay content to connectivity and stability tweaks. The patch size will be around 3 GB on consoles and up to 5 GB on PC, depending on your client, and an in-game notification will let you know when it’s available. Players in game will need to reboot the game to apply the patch. Please remember that in order to play co-op, all the players will need to have the same version of the game.

In addition to that, following the community feedback we received, we have implemented the option to turn off the radios in the game by default, as well as the option to choose the type of vehicle you want to spawn when using the “Drop Vehicle” rebel skill. Now you should have even more tactical options to plan and execute your missions.

For you Hardcores

Also, for those of you who love playing with the most hardcore settings and all your HUD elements turned off, we have implemented the option to choose which type intel you want to collect when interacting with files or NPCs. This way the gameplay flow won’t be interrupted and you will be able to discover new missions, skills, and weapons seamlessly, even with all the visual tips turned off.

You can find some PC specific fixes and improvements at the end of the notes. On top of other fixes, the Home, End, Insert, Delete, Page Up, and Page Down keys can now be remapped–making life easier for some players, especially the left-handed ones.

MISSIONS/NARRATION

We received reports of some players having issues with certain missions in the game. After investigating the causes, we have implemented fixes so they can now have a smooth experience. We also fixed an XP farming exploit related to the “Rebellion Rising” mission, which created interference with the co-op experience.

– Adjusted various missions markers & GPS pathfinding.
– The following missions are now unlocked correctly for players who reported issues:

* Gold Rush

* Sueño’s proposition

USER INTERFACE

– Players can now select what intel they want to collect, even with all the HUD options turned off.
